Anna- Jane spoke about what the play means to her being aware of it ever since she starred in CATS at the age of 16, the play's themes of aging and nostalgia and her Irish roots.

Award- winning poet Damian Gorman and revered musican Leonard Barry Music bring their show BOY to The Irish Cultural Centre this Friday for its UK premiere.

The music and poetry tells the story of Damian’s abused brother, Gerard Gorman.

Gerard Gorman is the person who named Malachy Finegan, the most prolific pa******le priest known about in the history of the Catholic church in Ireland.

In telling his story- and struggling for justice for himself and others- Gerard encouraged others to come forward.

Damian Gorman spoke to us about his brother's story telling us the show's intention is not to devastate people but perhaps allow them to speak.

After sold out runs in Dublin and Galway, Reunion is playing at Kiln Theatre.

Mark O'Rowe's play finds a family gathering for a celebration on an island off the west coast of Ireland.

When an unexpected visitor drops by, tensions begin to surface.

Over the next 24 hours, scores are settled, beliefs are challenged, and truths disclosed.

We chatted to Ian Lloyd Anderson who is reprising his role as Aonghus.

Ian is well known from TV roles like Love/Hate, Blood, Deadly Cuts and Dublin Old School.

He told us what working with Mark O'Rowe means to him as he was always bringing in the acclaimed playwright's work when he was in drama school.
